Hard to Breathe

November 23, 2012
By Anonymous

When you're so close to me,
I can barely breathe.
My heart beats; Intensity,
Face full of lines,
Kind eyes upon harsh canvas,
If talent would allow,
Charcoal and hand to dance, to
Recreate the face.

Awkward, Slow,
Conversation falls,
Am i a mere child to you,
Fearing we'll never go,
From this to more,
So close; So far.

I beg your touch,
The off angle grin,
No one would understand,
It's you i adore,
You won't ever know it,
How i can barely breathe.
